The Blogging Bae

It’s the end of week two of quarantine. I think? At this point, I’m not even sure what day it is although I’m not necessarily paying attention. If I do, days feel like years. My life isn’t much different outside of quarantine. I work remotely and live cross country from most of my friends and the few gal pals I have here are much further away than just next door and even if they were just next door, ‘social distancing’ is still required. For the sake of human kind...I’m staying in.  I have come to the conclusion that when we can get back to some sort of normalcy...I will be okay with not hearing the following words or phrases: quarantine, isolation or isolate, social distancing, and in these trying times...for years to come.

And when I said I felt a change in the air on New Year’s Day....this wasn’t the change I was talking about. Although....I understand...Mother Earth has finally stepped in and she’s had enough.

I’ve been through enough to prove myself worthy of living a glorious life....” ....”needed to hear those words regardless though. It means a lot.”  I replied.  With the good comes the bad and with the bad comes the good. Such is life I guess?  A test of loyalty and allegiance. A test of strength. A reminder that when times are tough one can be tougher... For those of you who are just reading this...feel free to go to other posts and catch up but if you want the condescended version and don’t want to read previous posts: my mom might have cancer and not to mention my car engine just blew up.  I live across the country from where the rest of my family lives. Including her. When I was 21, I moved two hours away to go to school and live my own life. My mom pushing me the entire time. Now was my chance
